The announcement was made at an 11:11 AM ET news conference. pic.twitter.com/evM9YuiVDc Ben Crump Law, PLLC (@BenCrumpLaw) July 26, 2021 @BenCrumpLawBen claims it's all about a alleged J&J campaign that lasted for decades. He says the campaign was designed to encourage African-American women over the years to purchase J&J's famous powder products. This included talcum powder (found mostly in J&J baby powder), which he claims has been the subject research and studies with ties to ovarian carcinoma.Ben claims he has inside information, including memos from company employees, that shows their attempts to convince Black women to purchase talcum. He says this has done irreparable damage to many over the years. Ben claims to have data that supports the idea that Black women were the main focus of these talcum sales efforts. And that they did, in large part.Ben and co. claim J&J knew that its product was toxic for the body. They also claim they betrayed their trust with African-American communities and consumers.He's now inviting anyone affected by the lawsuit to come on board... presumably in order to be a part of the lawsuit, potential damages, and/or any settlement. Ben will hold a press conference later that day in order to discuss the details of the lawsuit.Keep watching...
